Flashback: The greatest Rangers game ever played at the Nassau Coliseum

The Rangers and Islanders are a bitter rival. I recently went to the renovated Nassau Coliseum and recalled one of the greatest Rangers games I’ve ever seen.

As per Evan Sporer on NHL.com, the Coliseum opened in 1972, and has hosted 125 Rangers/Islanders classics. The Isles are 65-48-4 with eight ties, and the Blueshirts 52-63-2 with eight ties

Each individual Ranger fan will have their own opinion of which game was the greatest Blueshirt win at the Coliseum. Some may not even care if the Rangers won, maybe it was just a special game to be at or something memorable happened.
